As an indispensable element in home decoration, Skirting board can not only effectively protect walls, cover floor gaps, and prevent dirt, but also play a role in closing the junction between walls and floors, especially in protecting corners. At the same time, Skirting board can also enhance the sense of space and give the room a more refined visual effect.

As a supplier of stainless steel Skirting board, we are well aware of customers' dual needs for design and function. In recent years, more and more designers tend to combine skirting board with lights to create home spaces that are both practical and provide lighting effects. This skirting + lighting design not only retains the original functionality of the skirting, such as protecting the wall and adding a sense of layering, but also brings warm and soft atmosphere lighting through embedded lights.

Our stainless steel skirting products, combined with modern lighting technology, can provide customers with customized lighting designs while ensuring quality and durability. The clever integration of LED light strips or embedded lamps with Skirting board not only avoids the exposure of light sources, but also creates a low-key and exquisite lighting effect between the ground and the wall, enhancing the overall sensory experience of the space. Whether it is a family home, commercial space, or high-end custom project, our skirting products can provide customers with functional and beautiful solutions to help create a more modern and comfortable living environment.

1. What is skirting board + light strip?

The skirting board + light strip is also called the skirting light or the wall line light. It is to install the light source at the skirting position. The light will form a special light source along the skirting position of the wall.

Its main function is to decorate and create a comfortable or romantic atmosphere. Of course, it also has a certain auxiliary lighting function.

2. Types of Baseboard Lights

According to the direction of light from the hidden light strips on the skirting board, skirting lights can be divided into three types: upward-lighting type, downward-lighting type and side-lighting type.

• Upward light type: the light source is mainly directed toward the wall, creating a lighting effect from bottom to top.There is one advantage of a skirting with a light strip pointing upwards like this: it makes it easier to maintain the light strip in the future.

• Downward and side-lighting type: The light source shines downward and sideways, which can illuminate the area below the skirting.

Tips：Generally speaking, skirting lights only serve as decorative atmosphere lights. The brightness of the lighting is not very high, but they are very effective in creating a lighting atmosphere near the skirting boards.

3.3 installation options

Based on the installation method, Skirting board lights can be categorized into three types: surface-mounted, recessed, and plastered installation. Each has its unique features and suitable applications.

1. Surface-mounted

Surface-mounted Skirting board lights are installed directly at the base of the wall after the overall renovation is completed. This installation method is straightforward and ideal for spaces that have already been renovated, especially when upgrading or modifying specific areas. Since the light fixture is exposed, it effectively showcases the lighting effect, and the installation process doesn’t require any damage to the walls, making it a quick and easy way to incorporate lighting design.

2. Recessed

In the recessed installation method, the Skirting board’s base is fixed at the wall’s base with screws before the renovation begins. The light fixture and the cover plate are then installed within the pre-embedded space. This method is typically used in new constructions or large-scale renovations. By pre-installing the fixtures and components, the lighting effect becomes more discreet and refined, making it ideal for high-end projects where aesthetics are a top priority.

3. Plastered

For plastered Skirting board lights, a groove is cut at the wall's base in advance, and the finished Skirting board is fitted into the groove. The surface is then smoothed over with putty to conceal the installation. This method allows the light fixture to be fully hidden within the wall, achieving a sleek and clean appearance. It is perfect for spaces that demand a high level of neatness and a minimalist style, particularly in modern, high-end home renovations.

As a Skirting board supplier, we offer solutions for all three installation methods to meet various customer needs and design preferences. Whether surface-mounted, recessed, or plastered, our products guarantee high-quality lighting effects and seamless integration with the wall design, providing clients with a comfortable and unique living experience.

4.Skirting board Light Control Methods

There are two common control methods for Skirting board lights: switch control and sensor control.

1. Switch Control

Switch control involves using a button on the switch panel to turn the light on or off. This is the traditional and most straightforward method of controlling lighting and is suitable for spaces where manual operation is preferred.

2. Sensor Control

Sensor control utilizes devices like sound sensors or infrared sensors to automatically control the light. These sensors detect motion or changes in the environment, such as sound or heat, to activate or deactivate the lighting. This control method is particularly useful for convenience and energy-saving, as it does not require manual operation.

If the Skirting board lights are mainly used for tasks like night-time lighting or localized illumination, sensor control is recommended for added convenience. It allows the lights to turn on automatically when needed, such as during nighttime trips or when a person enters the room, providing both comfort and energy efficiency.
